CVE-2026-31599

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A NULL pointer dereference exists in the vidtv channel pmt match sections() function. This occurs because vidtv psi pmt stream init() can return NULL during a memory allocation failure, which is not checked by vidtv channel pmt match sections(). Consequently, when the tail variable is NULL, a subsequent call to the vidtv psi desc assign() function dereferences a NULL pointer offset, leading to a general protection fault.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
